Number Of Ingredients 22

4 ounces dry rice noodles
3 tablespoons fish sauce
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons tamarind concentrate
2 tablespoons sriracha (optional, for spicier - or more to taste)
2 tablespoons palm sugar (or use brown sugar)
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
10 large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (+ more as needed)
Salt to taste
4 ounces firm tofu (cut into bite-sized pieces (sub in chicken if desired))
¼ cup sweet preserved daikon radish (chopped (optional, SEE NOTES))
1 shallot (chopped)
4 cloves garlic (chopped)
1 tablespoon dried shrimp (minced (optional, SEE NOTES - use shrimp paste as an alternative))
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes (optional)
2 eggs (beaten)
2 cups bean sprouts (+ more for garnish)
1 cup garlic chives (or use scallions, chopped)
2 tablespoons roasted peanuts (+ more for garnish)

Steps:

  • Prep the Noodles. Soak the dried rice noodles for 1 hour in room temperature water, or until the noodles become pliable (or soak them 5-7 minutes, then boil for 10 minutes). Refer to your packaging directions for preparation to cook them through as needed.
  • Prep the Ingredients. Set up 5 bowls and add the ingredients into the bowls as listed above. Prepping makes the recipe much easier.
  • Make the Pad Thai Sauce (Bowl 1). Whisk together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl until well combined and set aside.
  • Cook the Shrimp (Bowl 2). Heat a large wok to medium heat. Toss the shrimp in bowl 2 with oil and salt, then add to the wok. Stir fry for 1-2 minutes, or until the shrimp is partially cooked through (they will continue to cook as we continue). Push the shrimp aside in the pan.
  • Add Bowl 3. Stir in the contents of the 3rd bowl and cook, stirring, for 1 minute, until the garlic becomes fragrant. Push the ingredients to the side of the pan.
  • Add Bowl 4. Add more oil if needed, stir in the eggs. Cook, stirring for 2-3 minutes, until the eggs are cooked and mixed with the ingredients.
  • Sauce and Noodles. Stir in the Pad Thai sauce and prepped rice noodles. Stir to coat the noodles with the sauce.
  • Add Bowl 5. Stir in the contents of the 5th bowl. Toss to combine.
  • Garnish with extra bean sprouts, roasted peanuts, chili flakes, and serve.
